F-UnitMad Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Great to meet up & see the layout again - there is no such thing on an urban switching layout as "too much litter" It should really carry a Health Warning, though - it's highly likely to turn one into an Alco-holic. (yes I know it's an old joke but Ray's locos just sound so good!! ) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Well that was Stafford, good weekend, layout work well (other than operator error!!),good to see a lot of old face and quiet a few new ones!!!, new additions to the layout went down well, especially the washing. I had a lot of question asked about my buildings and the added detail, by the end of each day I was a little horse, good job we had plenty of beer to keep me lubricated !!!!!!! Nick P got the hang of running the layout and how to drive Alco's properly!!!!!!!, he must have enjoyed himself, he came back for more on Sunday ( or was it just for the free dinner!!!!!!!!) That's it now till Trainwest in April, come along and say helloooooooo! Ray 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSCF0552.JPG Ray Hi, Good to meet you in the flesh at 'Trainwest' today - great layout and 'respect' for taking the trouble to come all the way down from that far 'up north'. Must study the layout photos in more detail now, to see evidence of the yard's apparent rat infestation That's what happens if you leave all that rubbish lying about.

Rivercider Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi Ray, I had a good day out to Trainwest on Sunday and it was good to see and hear 59th and Rust in action, for me it was one of the highlights of the show. I enjoyed our chat, thanks for bringing the layout along, cheers Kevin . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 As we speak, got the cat on guard while unloading the layout, but those southern rats haven't travelled north, must be the not so sunny climes of west Cumbria!! nice to talk to Stevencb7754 and rivercider over the weekend, glad you both enjoyed the layout. quiet a few people interested in the layout. only problem was a couple of couplings playing up, put it down to the heat!!!! ( operator error really) RAT Ray 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ray You sure it wasn't someone using a video camera rather than the couplings?? Every time some one started filming both the last two weekends, we had problems but generally fine other times! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

long island jack Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Heads up, will be out at Macclesfield 10-11th March and possibly 59th's last exhibition at Alley Pally 24-25th March, been cleaning/repairing the layout and did a short video of the CNJ RS3 doing a bit of switching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOWaUkq34tU&feature=youtu.be Rookie crew on the local can't get those couplers to line up!!

DanielB Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 But I do like Alcos! Guess I'll turn it up instead! Nice video Ray. 59th and Rust is one of my all time top 10 layouts anywhere, please tell me you aren't dismantling it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Did a spot of railfanning on the corner of Rust st ,just as CNJ RS3 turned up and also a Black and White, time to move on!! Dan, not sure what's happening to 59th yet, plan was when all exhibitions were fulfilled it was going to live on my cellar wall so I can play with, as I do now, but things may change!

Tel2010 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi Ray I came across this thread a couple of months ago and I'm really impressed with 59th and Rust,a brilliant layout.Well done.I usually model British outline but through a friend have been tempted to North American in n gauge.Not got building anything yet,but plans will be afoot once get shed finished in the spring.A similar layout to yours would be right up my street. Good luck for show at Macclesfield,and weather permitting may make the trek to see it. Best wishes Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
